Question

Among the career home run leaders for Major League Baseball, hank aaron has 181 fewer than twice the number of chipper Jones. Hank Aaron hit 755 home runs. Write an equation for this situation. How many home runs did. Chipper jones hit in his career?

Answer 1

Answer: He has 287 home runs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

H = home runs of Hank

J = home runs of Jones.

We know that:

H = 2*J - 181

H = 755

Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:

755 = 2*J - 181

(755 - 181)/2 = J

287 = J
